Atonement for Sin.
Forgiveness cannot make a sinner be
or feel as if he had never sinned. There
must be, in addition, to forgiveness, an
atonement for his in., a paying of the
debt, before he can feel that the burden
of his guilt is removed. Hence the ne-
cessftiy of the atonement made by Christ
—not to appease the wrath. of God, but to
bring relief to the Soul of the penitent
%inner. "Jesus paid it all, all the debt I
owe," are the tidings that he must bear
and believe before he can stand =con-
derened and self-jnetified before God.

Medical Testimony
During hell a century proves Cod Live
Oil to be the most necessary thing to tak
for consumption. But the trouble ha
been ie improper methods of preparation
for invalids, Miller's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil is the only reliable formula on
the market. None but the livers of Nor-

conjunction with the hyphosphites of
lime and soda it has the most wonderful
effect on consumptive patients, who,

Judge Muir entered Judgment in favor
of Messrs. Myles & Son, coal merchants,

Tenders for the supply,of coal for the
G.T.R. brought in offers for 1.00,000 tons
of coal from the Nova Scotia mines and
600,000 from the eleetinsylVaniti, and Ohio
mines.
Mr. Douglas Stewart, inspector of peni-
tentiaries, visited Alexandria, recently

the usual way.

A Woman's Signature.
In this day of women's clubs and wo-
men's newspapers, when women are the
officers and managers of the various
charitable organizations and. editors of
papers, it is highly important that what
constitutes a woman's signature should
be clearly understood. A married wo-
man signs her name in just the same way
that a single woman signs hers—that is,
with her christian name and the surname
that legally belongs to her. That is her
only proper signature. When Mary
Smith marries John Brown she signs her-
self henceforth as Mary Brown, or, if she
wishes to retain her family name, she
may sign herself as Mary Smith -Brown,
Her address is distinctly different from
her signature. A woman's social and.
business standing is usually conditioned.
by her husband's. Hence, for social and
business convenience she is known as
Mrs. John Brown. But it is merely a
distineuished title, not her name, and
therefore cannot be correctly used. as a
signature. She must sign herself as
Mary Brown or Mary Smitb.-Brown, and
the title Mrs. John Brown may be added
in parethesis as her distinguishing title
There is danger in neglecting a cold.
Many who have died of consumption dat-
ed their troubles from exposure, followed
by a cold which settled on their lungs,
and in a short time they were beyond the
skill of the best physician. Had they
used Biekle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup,
before it was too late, their livesewould
have been spared. This medicine has no
equal for curing coughs, colds and all af-
fections of the throat and lungs.
A Small Tenth's Retort.
The pompous schoolmaster sometimes
finds himself in a position which is not
entirely to his taste. A great English
wit, Mark Lemon, once wrote a book, in
which he told of a chubby -faced little
urchin who passed his conceited instruc-
tor on the street without bowing. The
schoolmaster stopped and. frowned.
"What has become of your manners,
sir?" he roared. "It seems to me that
you are better fed than. taught."
"Yes, sir," replied the little boy ;
"that's because you teaches me ; but I
feeds myself, sir," s.
For the thorough and speedy cure of all
blood diseases and. eruptions of the skin,
take Northrop & Lyman's Vegetable Dis-
covery. Mrs. B. Forbes, Detroit, had a
running sore on her leg or a long time;
commenced using Northrop & Lyman's
Vegetable Discovery, and she is now com-
pletely cured. Her husband thinks there
is nothing equal to it for ague or any low
fever.
• Wearing of Glass Eyes.
It is a fallacy to suppose that people
who wear cork less and glass eyes are in-
different to their person'al appearanc,e.
i hey are often vainer than ordinary in-
dividuals.
A rich man, for instance, who is oblig-
ed to wear an artificial eye, will wear
three different eyes every day—an eye
for morning, when the pupil is not very
large ; an eye for noon, when the pupil is
smaller ; an eye for evening, when. the
pupil has extended to its full size.
A London eye -maker, who gave this in-
formation, said he main about an equal
proportion of glass eyes for men and wo-
men. Some people keep quite a stock in
their possession, in fact no less than
twelve eyes have been made by my in-
formant within three years.
His son had. got one made from meas-
urement, and tlaat eye fitted so perfectly -
that the old gentleman, in an outburst' of
gratitude, wrote off for eleven other oyes.
The eye -maker admitted that this was an
exceptional instance.

VERDICT OP JURORS.
The House went into committee on bill
No. 76, respecting the verdicts of jurors
in .ivil eases in the High Courts and
other courts.
Mr, Whitney objected to the principle
of the bill, by which the verdict of ten
jurors should decide.
Sir Oliver Mowat replied that the ob-
ject of the bill was to prevent the objec-
tion of one or two jurymen preventing a
verdict.
Mx. Matheson suggested that the bill
be laid over for a year.
Mr. Whitney said he was perfectly will-
ing to agree to the abolitien of juries in
civil cases.
Mr. Hardy explained that the motion
of the hon. member for Dundas involved
the killing of the bill.
The bill was reported by the com-
mittee.
Looking For an Hopi* Mau.

"Like to see an old party like you pok-
ing around a. big town with a lantern

"Well, you don't have to," retorted the
old fellow, "you notice that I den't blow
out the light and stop searohing when I
meet you, sir."
Thus did the rare old cynic sometimes
get even.

STANDARD TIME.
The House went into committee on Sir
Oliver Mowat's bill respecting the legal
meaning of expressions relative to time.
Sir Oliver Mowat proposed an amend-
ment in the phraseology of the first
clause. He also proposed the insertion
of an extra clause, making permissive
the use of the twenty -four-hour system of
reckoning.
The amendments were concurred in,
and the bill reported.
FREE LIBRARIES.
Mr. Ross moved the second reading of
bill No. 117, to amend and consolidate
the acts respecting free libraries and
mechanics' institutes He explained the
provisions of the bill, which provided for
the change of the name "Free library"
to "Public library," and the change of
the name "Mechanics' institute" to
"Publie library."
The motion was carried after a short
disoussien.
PROVISION POR WIDOWS.
Sir Oliver Mowat moved the second
reading of bill No. 118, to make better
provision for the widows of intestates in
certain cases, by assuring to them' the
net value of the estate absolutely and ex-
clusively up to the sum of $1,000.

ment of Agrieulture, which provides that

fore kept by the Agriculture and Arts As-

THE ALGOMA. DAIRY FARM,
From the Canso, N.S., Breeze.
While newspaper men are called upon
in their capacity as publishers to print
from week to week words of praise
spoken in favor of proprietary medicines,
it is not often that the editor himself
feats it his duty to say a good word on
behalf of any of these preparations. And
yet if a newspaper man has actually
found benefit from the use of a proprie-
tary medicine, why should he not make
it known to his readers, andthus per-
haps point out to some of thefthe road
to renewed health. The edito17•40 the
Breeze believes it his duty to say eafeew
words of praise in favor of a remedy that
has proved an inestimable boon to him,
and to say them with Jut any solicitation
on the part of the proprietors of the
medicuie, who, as a matter of fact, had
no reason to know that he was ailing or
was using their medicine. For several
years the editor of the Breeze had been
subject to that distressing coraplaint,
dyspepsia, and only those who have
been similarlytroubled can, know
how much misery this trouble en-
tails. He had but very little appetite,
and what he did eat caused an unplea-
sant feeling of fullness, and made
him feel languid and heavy, often caus-
ing intense pain in the stomach only re-
lieved by vomiting up the food which he
had taken. He was also troubled with
palpitation of the heart, brought on no
doubt by the dyspepsia. Numerous
remedies alleged to cure dyspepsia were
tried, but without success, and the trouble
was approaching a chronic state. At the
suggestion of a friend Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills were tried and relief soon followed
their use, and aft r a few boxes had been
taken the editor was able to assert posi-
tively that he had been. cured of his
dyspepsia by this remedy that has proved
so great a blessing to mankind. To any
one troubled with this complaint he
would. strongly recommenclDr. Williams'
Pink Pills. To newspaper men par-
ticularly they will be found just the
thing to impart health and vigor to the
whole system. and enable them to pursue
their work free from that tired, despond-
ent feeling so prevalent among the craft.
The editor of the Breeze firmly believes
that what they have done for hi n they
will do for others. and he gives them his
hearty and unsolicited endorsation.
Dr. -Williams' Pink Pills are an un-
failing cure for all troubles resulting
from poverty of the blood or shattered
nerves, and where given a fair trial they
never fail in cases like that above ralated.

In regard to the item of 04,000 for es-
tablishing a dairy farm in Algoma,
Mr. Matheson inquired the reason for
locating such a farm in that part of the
province.
Mr. Dryden replied that the object was
to induce settlement in that country.
The Government thought the district
should be settled.
Me. McPherson approved of the estab-
aishment of such a farm, and hoped it
would be followed up by the location of
similar farms in other parts of the pro-
vince.
Mr. Maxtor asked if a manager had yet
been selected for the farm.
Mr. Dryden replied in the negative.
The item was passed, as were some
further items.
The House then took up the grants to
Public and. Separate schools of $242,-
495.44.
Mr. Haycock said that in some coun-
ties there was dissatisfaction with the
way the grant to Public schools was
made at present, namely, on a basis of
attendants°, and he suggested that it
might be better if the grants were made
on the basis of the number of days the
wheels were kept °pea. This, he thought
would be fairer to the rooter districts
than the present method.
The item passed.
The estimates for Central, Priem, To-
ronto, antieunting to oomq, were also
passed. This finished the estimates, and

Gives His Experience With Organic
Heart Disease—The Dread Maladjon
theinerease.
For Many years my greatest enemy has
been organic heart disease. From an un.A,
easiness about the heart, with palpitation
more or less Severe, it had developed into
abnormal action, thumping, fluttering
and choking sensations. Dull pain with
a peculiar warm feeling were ever present
near the heart. I have tried many phy-
sicians and taken numberless remedies
with very little benefit. Seeing Dr. Ag-
new's Cure for the Heart advertised in
the Kittanning, Pa., papers, I purchased
a bottle and began its use, receiving al-
most instant relief. I have now taken
several bottles of the remedy and can
speak most highly in, its favor. The
choking, abnormal beating, thumping
and palpitation, have almost entirely dis-
appeared. The remedy is certainly a
wonder -worker, for my case was chronic.

"La Grippe" How to Escape It.
The most promising subjects for this
dread malady are theists whose health is
"run down" from any cause—the fact
being patent, that those in sound physi-
oal condition resist attack most success-
fully. The true method of prevention,
therefore, is by "building up" the system,
and for this purpose " Maltine with Cod
Liver Oife" has been most highly eom-
mended. 1. this preparation is contain -
6a, every principle necessary to repair
waste, and to bring the system up to full
health.. This condition established, the
"Microbe" of influenza is rendered harm-
less. "Malbine with Cocl Liter Oil" may
be obt iined of all druggists. '

A new order went into effect at Detroit.', .
last week, which is causing a heap of
trouble to those who take horses forth
and baek across the river. Before a man ."
can drive through the gate at the ferry
dock he must procure from the Customs
officer there a double check. Half he
gives to the gateman.. and the other half
he returns to the officer when he returns
from Windsor. The check must be filled
out with the owner's name and address,

minutes. The order was issued by Cus-
toms Collector Maloney, and it is cantle •
ing a large amount of dissatisfaction.
